Bin Laden's Influence

Improved Essays
Bin Laden communicated to his people and the world through several means. His most powerful means were attacks that he commanded. He was a man of action! Another method that he was really counting on to get his message to the world is the media, television, the Internet and radio. According to Seib "Al-Qaeda and its jihadist brethren use more than 4,000 web sites to encourage the faithful and threaten their enemies"(2008, 74). Even after his death Bin Laden"still has a core leadership that is still alive and at large, perhaps only a third of his leaders are now dead or captured"(Hoffman 2003, 1). His influence that he had on his people stills sends a message to take action against the West and non supporters. His negative influence

    This article starts off introducing the primary source, Osama Bin Laden , confirming for the “ first time” that he lead the 9/11 Attacks. Furthermore , using words like “accused”, “ misleading” , and “injecting” to discuss Osama’s reason for 9/11 attacks; Fox news word choice throughout this article characterizes Osama Bin laden as someone who blames people for his actions , therefore, portraying him as a guilty person.

    In a December 1998 interview with Pakistani journalist Rahimullah Yusufzai, bin Laden stated that Operation Desert Fox was proof that Israeli Jews controlled the governments of the United States and United Kingdom, directing them to kill as many Muslims as they could.[73] In a letter released in late 2002, he stated that Jews controlled the civilian media outlets, politics, and economic institutions of the United States.[54] In a May 1998 interview with ABC's John Miller, bin Laden stated that the Israeli state's ultimate goal was to annex the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East into its territory and enslave its peoples, as part of what he called a "Greater Israel". He stated that Jews and Muslims could never get along and that war was "inevitable" between them, and further accused the U.S. of stirring up anti-Islamic sentiment.[74] He claimed that the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Defense were controlled by Jews, for the sole purpose of serving the Israeli state's goals.…

    He later moved al-Qaeda to Sudan, and began a terror campaign against neighboring nations in response to the U.S forces inside Saudi Arabia, but was allowed to move to a country of his choice after Sudan expelled him. He chose to move back to Afghanistan, where in 1996 he declared war on the U.S, for occupying his holy land and supporting Israel.

    Though relatively normal in his mid-adolescence, bin Laden soon gravitated towards radical ideas. Lawrence Wright explains this change on page 88 of his book, stating that “[bin Laden was] exposed to so few alternative ways of thinking even in Islam [and] was trapped in a two-dimensional spiritual world; [he] could only become more extreme or less so.” bin Laden cut off everything associated with the West from his life, and became infuriated when something he deemed unworthy of God played on the radio or television (Wright 88). According to Wright’s book, “[Osama] loved adventure and poetry and little else but God” (87). His piety dictated his life, and soon “...as stated in his unclassified CIA biography...…

    Bin Laden officially declared a jihad, a war against disbelievers, on the United States, supporting his attacks with religion and using terrorist actions to force a result. The United States, on the other hand, barely responded to early attacks and threats made by the group. Despite growing and increasingly obvious signs, the United States refused to see that a war on terror had begun. America enabled the creation of al Qaeda by ignoring the signs and not responding to their attacks, which energized the group and helped cultivate their confidence: all which caused September 11th,…

The attacks of 9/11 changed the nation’s views toward terrorists and brought about a sense of nationalism throughout the citizens of the United States.…
